NNHS on “Shelter in Place” after threatening call

I am writing to give you an update regarding an incident at Newton North HS this morning. At approximately 10:40 AM a threatening phone call was received in the main office. The building was then placed in “Shelter in Place.” While in “Shelter in Place,” the exterior doors to the building are locked and students remain in their classrooms with their teachers. We are currently in “Shelter in Place” while the Newton Fire and Police departments work with us to investigate and assess the situation. As always, we take safety and security very seriously and we will keep you informed as we receive any additional information regarding this matter.
